Smile Maths and More

T2Tennant

Thanks for working out those equations. Would you say that they are equivalent to the level of maths on the test? Just trying to get all of my ducks in a row before the big day, and not sure that I've been pushing myself hard enough in the maths/physics area.

Everyone

I'm also headed to Swanwick on Friday the 15th of April for my Stage 1. I'm in the afternoon session. Anyone else in with me?

If we arrive early, is there someplace nearby to sit and have a coffee and relax for a bit before the session begins?

Hi all,

Just been allocated to the Aerodrome 229 course starting in October. If any one else is starting the same course on these forums, PM me please!

Thanks

@dreambig, there's a cafe on the ground floor and also plenty of places to sit down so having a coffe shouldn't be a problem if you're erly. Good luck


@shaunhftm, how long have you waited since the medical until course allocation? I'm just trying to get an idea about how much slower the course starts are moving now when the demand seems to be lower.

@Giuseppe

hey, here's one link
Speed Distance Time | OASC: RAF Officer and Aircrew Selection Centre

people have been sharing this link lots of times in this forum and it is really cool. It is pretty much the kind of questions they ask there. Train this and you'll be fine. Also, you'll have time for some examples there and they wont continue if you haven't got them right so don't worry.

hope it helps*

Hey matey,

At which stage in the application process do you get to choose your preferrence to do Aerodrome or Approach/Area ?

Or is it literally where they need you?

Thanks,

Fingers crossed for you hatemyjob!

Well got stage 1 out of the way yesterday, I am not holding my breath on getting through though. I think the diagramming was my undoing! I quite enjoyed the cubes though!

We were told that we should find about before Friday so hopefully not long before we're put out of our misery.
